Kolkata City of Joy second last in Global Cities listMeanwhile, Kolkata has been ranked 63rd in the list of 65 global cities, which is topped by New York, London and Tokyo.

“So what makes a Global City? Not size alone, that’s for sure. Many of the world’s largest megalopolises, such as Karachi (60), Lagos (59), and Kolkata (63), barely make the list. Instead, the index aims to measure how much sway a city has over what happens beyond its own borders — its influence on and integration with global markets, culture, and innovation,” says the report released by the prestigious Foreign Policy magazine in collaboration with A T Kearney and The Chicago Council onGlobal Affairs.
